A young man under age having granted sundry bills to a taverner for drinking and ether ridiculous expenses while his father lived with his family in town; and the father and he having raised a process against the taverner before the Sheriff on that account, the taverner got from the young man then come of age a bond for the whole sums. The Lords reduced the bond on fraud and circumvention. I own I could not agree with the words of the judgment. This was not properly fraud, but I thought the bond reducible as contra bonos mores.
